I downloaded the kernel2.4.16 sources from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/2.4.16 The config was the default from SuSE. 'make bzImage' doens't work (i386 only) 'make boot' creates an error message (at the end of this mail). Do I need any more files to create an new kernel. Are there any rpm's for ia64? greetings, Jan Last lines of output from 'make boot': In file included from /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/linux/pagemap.h:17, from /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/linux/locks.h:9, from /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/linux/devfs_fs_kernel.h:7, from init/main.c:17: /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/linux/highmem.h: In function `clear_user_highpage': /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/linux/highmem.h:49: too few arguments to function `clear_user_page' /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/linux/highmem.h: In function `copy_user_highpage': /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/linux/highmem.h:91: too few arguments to function `copy_user_page' init/main.c: In function `do_linuxrc': /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:292: warning: `dummy2' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:292: warning: `dummy3' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:292: warning: `dummy4' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:292: warning: `dummy5' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:292: warning: `dummy2' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:292: warning: `dummy3' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:292: warning: `dummy4' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:292: warning: `dummy5' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:292: warning: `dummy2' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:292: warning: `dummy3' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:292: warning: `dummy4' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:292: warning: `dummy5' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:285: warning: `dummy2' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:285: warning: `dummy3' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:285: warning: `dummy4' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:285: warning: `dummy5' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:291: warning: `dummy4' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:291: warning: `dummy5' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:289: warning: `dummy2' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:289: warning: `dummy3' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:289: warning: `dummy4' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:289: warning: `dummy5' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:289: warning: `dummy2' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:289: warning: `dummy3' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:289: warning: `dummy4' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:289: warning: `dummy5' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:290: warning: `dummy4' might be used uninitialized in this function /usr/src/linux-2.4.16.SuSE/include/asm/unistd.h:290: warning: `dummy5' might be used uninitialized in this function make: *** [init/main.o] Error 1
